^ INTRODUCTORY NOTE 

c; 

THE Yale Engineering Association takes pleasure in presenting 
this booklet as a contribution to engineering education at Yale. 
It is hoped that it may bring more intimately to the atten- 
tion of the older graduates and friends of Yale the great amount of 
constructive work which has been and is being done to put Yale in a fore- 
most position with respect to engineering education. It is anticipated that 
the booklet may also render a substantial service in showing prospec- 
tive college students and their parents the scope of Engineering, and the 
opportunities for engineering education and research at Yale. 

The conditions which are so favorable for the study of Engineering 
at the Sheffield Scientific School produce likewise an atmosphere par- 
ticularly conducive to successful research work in the several branches 
of Engineering, and in specialized subjects related thereto. For those 
who desire to pursue advanced study in specialized subjects, splendid 
opportunities are offered in the Graduate School. 

The purpose of engineering education at Yale is not only to impart 
to the students advanced instruction in technical subjects, but to teach 
them the fundamentals of science and to give them the broadest possible 
acquaintance with economic, social, and cultural subjects in order that 
they may be prepared to comprehend and deal intelligently with the 
many problems confronting our modern industrial and commercial life. 
With such an opportunity in view, the great advantages of undergradu- 
ate life at Yale are apparent. Here boys from every state in the Union 
and from many foreign countries are brought together in daily contact, 
and later, as graduates, into association with the great body of Yale 
alumni.

FOREWORD 

BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE 

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL 

OF YALE UNIVERSITY 

COINCIDENT with the creation of the department of Philoso- 
phy and the Arts at Yale in 1847, there was established a lab- 
oratory or "School of Applied Chemistry" and a "School of 
Engineering," the latter limited to a course in Civil Engineering. Thus 
began what is now the Sheffield Scientific School, a School "devoted to 
instruction and researches in the mathematical, physical and natural 
sciences, with reference both to the promotion and diffusion of science 
and to the preparation of young men for such pursuits as require special 
proficiency in these departments of learning." 

Both in Chemistry and in Engineering the rapid strides made during 
the past half century have more than justified the faith and hopes of the 
early founders, while the development of applied science in general has 
been such as to challenge the admiration of the world. To-day there is a 
broad realization in the minds of the intelligent public of the significance 
of science, both pure and applied, in the welfare and prosperity of the 
nation. Under the stress of dire necessity, both Chemistry and Engineer- 
ing wei-e called upon to demonstrate their ability to meet the demands 
created by a world war, and the response was such as to excite the inter- 
est and wonder of the public. 

In the minds of the present generation there is no shadow of doubt as 
to the power of Engineering — in its many fields of activity — to develop 
new and better methods of construction, to create new ways by whicii tlie 
resources of the country can be more fully developed, to devise econom- 
ical methods by which waste may be prevented or diminished, to suggest 
invalual^le remedies by whicb tbc nation's industries and commerce may 
be protected and augmented, and in case of emergency to hclj) make 
lliis country indej)endent of the other nations of the worUl. 

A LUiiversity nuisl needs, tbcrefore, if it is to fulfill its obligations, see 
t(j it that adecjuate oppoilnnities ai'c afforded for inslruction and re- 
search in the vaiious fields of Engineering in harmony with present day 

7 



demands. This little booklet tells somewhat of the facilities now pro- 
vided at Yale for these purposes, and will afford to the seeker after 
information such facts as he naturally would desire to know.

YALE'S 

HISTORICAL AND INDUSTRIAL 

SURROUNDINGS 

NEW Hx^VEN, the home of Yale since 1716 when the institution was 
remo\ed from Saybrook, is a happy compromise between a large cit)^ 
and a town. Situated on Long Island Sound seventy-three miles to 
the east of New York City on the direct route to Boston, New Haven has come 
to be widely known both for its manufacturing and other business interests and 
for its traditions and historical associations. In addition, the presence of Yale 
University lends a distinctive atmosphere of wliich the newcomer quickly be- 
comes aware. So far as the character and associations of New Haven are con- 
cerned, any student making Yale his university has from tlie start the assurance 
of congenial and helpful surroundings. 

Of particular importance to the student of Engineering is the fact of New 
Haven's ])rominence as a manufacturing center. The great industries of Con- 
necticut offer much of fascination and practical interest to him. For generations 
the state has been known the world over for the peculiar skill and in\cnti\'e 
genius of its meciianics and manufacturers. Connecticut has led the world in 
the ratio of patents to population. The epoch-making system of interchangeable 
parts in manufacture was devised a century ago only a mile or two from Yale 
College. Labor saving machinery in great variety originated within the state. 
The cotton gin and the milling macliine were invented in New Haven; firearms 
were developed in New Ha\cn, Hartford, and Bridgeport; bicycles in Hart- 
ford; sewing machines and typewriters in Bridgeport; timepieces in the 
Waterbury region. 

The brass industry of the country is strikingly concentrated in nearb)- Water- 
bury and the adjoining Naugatuck valle\' towns. This has meant, among otiier 
things, much highly de\e]o])ed special machiner_\', in many cases designi'il and 
built where it was to be used. The state has been a pioneer in the manulacluri' ol 
liardware, tools, cutlery, and \arious articles of siher and rubber. 

Yale University is thus fortuiialiI\' located in a district where the eiiuipnunt 
of its laboratories is supplcincnled b)' thai of shops and factories; and wluie 
\ari((l industries teem with problems ot engineering interest, [)robleins that 
during the next generation must be solved by technicall\' trained men. Coopera- 
tion in industrial research between the unixersit)' and the manufacturers has 
become a niatli'rol coursi' in such suiroundings.

WHAT IS ENGINEERING? 



DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING 

GREATER and more striking than those in any other period of history 
are the changes which man has made in his physical environment during 
tlie past century ; he has in fact revolutionized his entire mode of living. 
The underl^'ing cause, to which practically every phase of our new civilization 
is directly or indirectly related, may be traced to Watt's development of the 
steam engine a century and a half ago. Previous to that time men made things 
mainly with their hands or with crude machinery moved b}^ muscular power. 
Transportation by land depended on animal power. It took a long time to make 
even simple things and a long time to transport them after they were made. The 
steam engine introduced the new era of mechanical power and of machinery. 
Production and transportation increased beyond anything previously dreamed. 
Big machines were used to make still bigger machines. Small factories in which 
a score of men worked became large factories in which thousands worked. 
Small cities with thousands of inhabitants became large cities with hundreds of 
thousands. New problems arose in providing food and water, in disposing of 
sewage and waste, in housing people and industries, and in furnishing heat arid 
light. Railroads from one end of the country to the other, bridges over rivers 
and tunnels under rivers, elevated roads over streets and subways beneath the 
streets, highwaj^s and canals, stearnships and ship terminals now enable people 
to go quickly from one place to another and what is even more important bring 
to people from all parts of the world the necessities of life. Great systems for 
producing and distributing gas and electricity provide heat and light. Ex- 
tensive telegraph and telephone systems furnish ready means of communication. 
Things are not only done on a vast scale, but everything is speeded up. Modern 
methods of transportation and communication have in effect made the world 
smaller and peoples far apart near neighbors. Underlying all of this, making 
modern civilization possible, is mechanical power. Take away this mechanical 
power and modern civilization would disappear — people could not exist in 
our great cities and man would return to the more primitive modes of living. 
It is for the engineer to keep this mechanical power functioning. He must 
keep on producing power and applying it. He must design and construct not 
only machinery, but also transportation systems, distribution systems for water, 

10 



light, and heat, communication systems, all kinds of structures, and the multi- 
tude of other engineering works which this new civilization requires. Not only 
the comfort, but the safety of his fellow-men depends upon his work. The terms 
"public utilities" and "public service corporations" imply that in a very real 
sense the engineer is a public servant. The mining engineer, the civil engineer, 
the meclianical engineer, and the electrical engineer work side by side with the 
chemist, physicLst, and other scientists to improve our physical environment, 
consequently our standards of living, and thus make the world a better place in 
which to live. 

Not only must the engineer design and construct, but he must also manage 
and operate. Engineering works, in addition to contributing to man's comfort 
and safety, involve enormous investment of capital. To operate efficiently, to 
secure a fair return on this investment and at the same time to serve the public is 
largely an engineering problem. This brings the engineer into contact not onlv 
with great financial problems but also with problems which involve human re- 
lationships, such as problems of capital and labor, of conservation of natural 
resources and of healthful living conditions — sociological problems on a great 
scale. Tredgold's old and oft-quoted definition of Engineering as "the art of 
directing the great sources of j^ower in nature for the use and convenience of 
man" can no longer be considered as a comprehensive definition of the work of 
the engineer, for he must now direct not only natural forces but humanistic 
forces as well. Herbert Hoover includes this human element in his recent 
definition : "Engineering is the profession of creation and construction, of 
stimulation of human effort and accomplishment." 

THE FOUR PRINCIPAL ENGINEERING PROFESSIONS 

There are four principal engineering professions: 

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

The ci\'il engineer designs and constructs bridges, railroads, lughways, canals, 
tunnels, subways, elevated railroads, systems of water suppl\- ami sewerage, 
docks, terminals, steel and reinforced concrete buildings, and in many other 
ways literally ti-ansfigurcs the surface of the earth. 

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

The mechanical engineer dcxclups mechanical pdwer as distinct from animal 
power and designs macliiiuT)' of alt kinds for the application of that power. 
Steam boilers, turbines, intirnal combustion engines, cranes, hoists, locomotives, 
and autonioi)ili's suggest the lirld oi thr nu'cliaiiii"al engiiUTr. With these as 

I I 



elements he plans and operates great power plants, manufacturing plants, and 
systems of transportation. 

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 

The electrical engineer designs, constructs, and operates systems for the gen- 
eration, distribution, and use of electricity for power, light, heat, and communi- 
cation. Power from engine or waterfall may now be distributed by means of 
the electric system over great distances and converted into various forms thus 
greatly extending the field of application of power. This has revolutionized 
manufacturing methods and transportation by introducing new and more effec- 
tive methods. The electric motor, electric light, electric heat, the electric car 
and locomotive, the telephone, telegrajDh and wireless, electricity in the home 
and in the shop — all these suggest the ways or the fields in which the electrical 
engineer is modifying or changing or extending and revolutionizing our means 
of using power and our mode of living. 

MINING ENGINEERING AND METALLURGY 

The mining engineer goes to all parts of the earth to obtain fuels and minerals, 
such as coal, iron, copper, and lead, without which the work of all other engi- 
neers would be imi^ossible. 

The metallurgist extracts metals from ores, and determines the chemical 
and structural properties of different metals and alloys, in order that these 
metals and alloj's may be used to the best advantage. 

OTHER SUBDIVISIONS OF ENGINEERING 

These larger fields are often subdivided into well-known branches, such as 
structural engineering, sanitary engineering, railway engineering, highway 
engineering, hydraulic engineering, marine engineering, automobile engineer- 
ing, aeronautical engineering, power engineering, communication engineering, 
illumination engineering, and electric railway engineering. 

CLOSELY RELATED PROFESSIONS 

It is difficult to draw the line between Engineering and other closely related 
fields of applied science or of business. Thus, for example, in chemistry there 
is work which is so largely Engineering that it is called engineering chemistry 
or chemical engineering. The application of engineering principles in the field 
of production has led to the profession of industrial engineering. The demand 
for trained engineers to fill executive positions is rapidly creating the profession 
of administrative engineering. 

12 



THE EXPANDING FIELD OF ENGINEERING 

Engineers in the early days were concerned mainly with the design of structures 
or machines and with their erection or construction. Engineering activities have 
become much more varied and complex. Those of the present day may be 
classified under four distinct heads. 

The Design and Construction of engineering units, such as machines and 
structures, and the design and construction of engineering systems composed of 
these units, such as big manufacturing plants and transportation systems. No 
matter how great a machine or system the engineer creates, he can use it to 
create one still greater. 

Administrative Work, particularly in the fields of production and transporta- 
tion, offers broad opportunity for men of engineering training. More and more 
such men are being called upon to fill high executive positions in great manu- 
facturing plants and in various public utility systems. Such plants and systems 
have become so large and complicated tliat only technically trained men can 
manage and operate them most efficiently. It is as if the engineer had created 
a great machine which he alone can operate because he alone understands it. 

Engineering Economics, not merely the economic principles of design, con- 
struction, and operation applied to a single plant or S3^stem, but more particu- 
larly the application of those same principles on a big scale to many plants and 
systems. Engineers are being called upon to take the lead in conserving natural 
resources, in increasing production with increased efficiency, and in reducing 
the cost of transportation on railways, highways, and waterways. 

Political Service — not only service in legislative halls and on various public 
commissions, but in helping to shape public policy wherever the training and 
experience of the engineer is of value. Engineers must take part in framing 
laws, especially those which affect engineering systems, and be willing along 
with other men to undertake rcs|j()nsibilities of leadership. Herbert Hoover 
said recent!)': "linginecrs should exert themselves in our national engineering 
policies, .... or the next generation will face a lower instead of a higher stand- 
ard of livintr." 



DEMAND FOR ENGINEI'RS 

huring llu' past twenty _\'ears the output of our nianu factm-ies lias iliuiliK'd, 
tlie freight transported h_\- oui' I'.'iil roads lias lri|)K(l, and ihe use o\ I'Kxii'ic 
power lias increased tenfold or more. l'!.\'j)ansion and combination ha\e re- 
sulted in great manufacturing ])lants and transportation sx'stems. Not onI\- must 
the engineer design and construct these manufacturing plants and lrans|)orta- 
tion systems, but, to a very large extent, he must manage anil o[)erate IIkmu. 

13 



Production and transj^ortation on a great scale and with liigli efficiency are 
essentially engineering problems. Three classes of engineers are required — 
(i) creative, (2) routine, and (3) executive. There is and always will be a 
demand for engineers of creative imagination who can originate; there will 
always be need for large numbers of routine engineers to carry out the plans 
of creative engineers ; there is a great and increasing demand for men of engi- 
neering training who can fill executive positions of great responsibility. It is 
not a question of whether or not the field of Engineering is big enough for 
the man — it is a question of whether or not the man is big enough for the field. 

AN ENGINEER'S REWARDS 

In Engineering as in all other professions and occupations large financial 
rewards are reserved for those of extraordinary creative or executive ability. 
Engineers who occupy subordinate positions and are engaged in more or less 
routine work can earn at least a fairly good living. A reward less tangible than 
the financial reward, but in the long run a very real reward, is the satisfaction 
of the creative instinct. Whether it be some single engineering unit designed • 
and constructed, such as a bridge, or an engineering system planned and in- 
stalled, such as a great power system, or an organization planned and perfected, 
such as a great manufacturing organization, the engineer, like the artist or 
architect, has the satisfaction of seeing something produced which he himself 
first conceived and planned. Coupled with this satisfaction is the joy of public 
service, for the engineer has unusual opportunities to be of service to his fellow- 
men. 

One should enter the engineering profession, in the last analysis, not in the 
expectation of great financial rewards, but because he feels that he will be happy 
in the work. This statement is not intended to deter 3'oung men from entering 
the profession, for ne\er in the history of the world was there a greater need for 
engineers; it merely urges consideration, first of all, of fitness for the work of 
the profession. 

PERSONAL QUALITIES NEEDED IN ENGINEERING 

Not every boy who shows a liking for machinery, for railroad trains, or for 
wireless telegraphy is an engineer in embryo. To succeed in Engineering he 
must have the creati^^e imagination, the originality, and the fondness for science 
needed in the field of design, or the initiative, the creative ability, and the 
natural qualities of leadership needed in administrative engineering. The aver- 
age engineer who is neither a creative genius on the one hand, nor a great 
executive on the other, needs all of these qualities. His work may lie in the field 

14 



of design or in the field of operation and management. Exceptional ability in 
mathematics or in any other science, contrary to general opinion, is not essential 
in Engineering. Nevertheless, Engineering is applied science, and one should 
hesitate to enter the profession unless he has a natural scientific bent. 

THE EDUCATIONAL TRAINING REQUIRED 

Business is rapidly becoming Engineering and Engineering business; it is 
increasingly difficult to draw the line between them. Primarily concerned with 
the forces of nature, engineers must now direct human forces as well. The 
common conception of an engineer is one who designs and constructs for other 
men to use. Conditions have changed and the engineer is now called upon to 
take part in great private business enterprises and in the organization and 
operation of great public utilities. He must, therefore, have the creative imagi- 
nation to conceive great projects and the breadth of vision to carry them out. 
As the field for engineers has expanded, it has become clear that technical 
training is but a part of an engineer's education, that a university cannot afford 
to graduate engineers less broadly trained than other men and that the aim in 
this broader training is identical with the aim in all liberal education. The trend 
in Engineering seems to be toward the introduction of more non-technical 
studies in the undergraduate years, particularly studies pertaining to business, 
and the consequent transference of the more highly specialized technical studies 
to the graduate years.

ENGINEERING AT YALE 



TREND TOWARD ENGINEERING 

THE Sheffield Scientific School, founded in 1847, was among the first 
schools in this country to ofTer courses in Engineering. 
Of the six thousand living graduates of the Sheffield Scientific 
School nearly one-half are engaged in Engineering or in closely allied occupa- 
tions. Many of these graduates have attained prominent positions in the engi- 
neering profession, while a surprisingly large number have been called to fill 
high executive positions in such fields as manufacturing and transportation. 

The percentage of engineering students at Yale has been rapidly increasing. 
JMore than half of all the graduates of the Sheffield Scientific School, during a 
recent period of about a decade, were from the engineering courses, a number 
equal to more than one-fourth of all the students who received undergraduate 
degrees in the entire University during this time.

The trend toward Engineering is further shown by the fact that during 
practically the same period the number of Yale graduates engaged in Engi- 
neering increased l6o%, while the average increase in the number of graduates 
engaged in manufacturing, finance, or mercantile business was 83%, and the 
average increase of those engaged in law, education, medicine, or the ministry 
was a little over 21%.

YALE GRADUATE VOCATIONAL CHANGES IN RECENT YEARS 
Showing the recent rapid expansion in the fields of Applied Science and 
Engineering. Present-day demands for technically trained men in many lines 
have brouglit about tliese striliing clianges. 

THE ENGINEERING FACULTY 

In tlie six departments of Engineering in Yale University there are (June, 
1921) six full professors and seventeen assistant professors. No man is ap- 
pointed to the grade of assistant profi.'ssor, as a general rule, until In- has had 
several years of practical as well as teaching experience. Consequently, the 
assistant jjrofessors are men of considerable maturity; in fact, a number of 
them have held full professorships elsevvliere. A brief sumniar}- ol the pm- 
fessional record of each of the professors and assistant professors is gi\'en on 
pages 44-47. 'I"hci-e are, in addition, approximalel)' thirt)' insti-uct(U-s and 
assistants, and many of these instructors are also men ol experience. 



STUI)I':NT l<:NGiNl<:ERlNG ASSOCIATIONS 

There are lour student engineering associations, each alliliaUHl with the cor 
respontling national organization: 

Yale Student Hrancli of the American Society of Civil luigineers. 

Yale Slutlenl Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. 

17 



Yale Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. 
Mining Society of Yale University. 
Chief among the activities of these organizations are their regular meetings, 
at which student members read and discuss papers and review the technical 
journals. Many lectures by eminent engineers and other notable men are given 
each year under the auspices of the various associations. Among their other 
activities are occasional inspection trips and engineering exhibitions. 

YALE ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION 

More than one thousand alumni of Yale, most of them graduates of the 
various departments of Engineering, are members of the Yale Engineering 
Association. One of the principal objects of this Association is to cooperate 
with the Faculty and Officers of the University in promoting engineering edu- 
cation and research at Yale. The work and influence of the Association have 
been important factors in the progress made by the departments of Engineer- 
ing. The activities of the Association are outlined in detail on page 55. 

ENGINEERING LABORATORIES 

The Sheffield Scientific School has three large modern engineering labora- 
tories, the Hammond Mining and Metallurgical Laboratory, the Mason Lab- 
oratory of Mechanical Engineering, and the Dunham Laboratory of Electrical 
Engineering. A summer camp of Engineering with i^ermanent buildings is soon 
to be established in East L^^me, Connecticut, forty-five miles east of New Haven. 
A tract of land three and one-half miles long and two and one-half miles wide 
has been purchased for this purpose, and is already being used each summer to 
a limited extent. 

COURSES OF STUDY 

Four-year undergraduate courses in Engineering in the Sheffield Scientific 
School are offered in Civil Engineering, in Mechanical Engineering, in Elec- 
trical Engineering, in Administrative Engineering, in Mining, and in Metal- 
lurgy. There are also closely allied undergraduate courses in Industrial and 
Engineering Chemistry and in Science as Applied to Industry. Graduate 
courses in Engineering, given in the Graduate School of Yale University, enable 
a student to specialize still further in the particular branch of Engineering 
which he expects to follow. 

GENERAL EDUCATIONAL POLICY 

The policy of the Sheffield Scientific School has always been to have its 
engineering students thoroughly grounded in fundamentals, and consequently 

. 18 




WOOLSEY HALL, MEMORIAL HALL, AND THE DINING HALL 

The Bicentermial Gift of Yale's Alunuii 

the first two years for all engineering students are devoted largely to such 
subjects as chemistry, physics, mathematics, drawing, mechanics, English, and 
history. Even in the engineering subjects, taught mainly in the last two years, 
the emphasis is laid upon fundamental principles and methods and upon a broad 
training. By ]3lacing the more highly specialized subjects largel\- in the grad- 
uate years and by requiring four weeks of work during each summer vacation, 
time has been gained for broadening the engineering curricula through tiie 
introduction of such non-technical subjects as economics, accounting, business 
law, and business management. 



ADVANTAGES OF A UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT 

Any engineering school wliich is a ])art ol a high grade uni\ersity offers 
important advant;iges and opportunities to the student wlm desires something 
more than teciinical training. Some ot these ad\anlagrs and oppnilmiities at 
Vale may he summarized as fo]h)ws : 
• The reputatiim ol a great universit\- held in high tsteem all i)\cr the world. 
The University faculty with strong departments in plu'sies, eluniislr\', mathe- 
matics, j'.nglish, economics, history, sociologv, languages, and other non-teeii- 
nical subjects which engineering students should study. 

19 



A student body, largely self-governing, with fine traditions and high ideals. 

A university environment that should bring to a student friends from all 
parts of the country, widen his horizon, and develop all that is best in him. 
Some of the tangible elements of influence in this environment are lectures by 
distinguished men from all over the world, concerts, recitals, art collections, 
museums, a university library of a million and a quarter volumes, and college 
buildings of architectural beauty. 

Buildings, equipment, and other material resources of the University — re- 
sources constant!}' increasing and possibly unexcelled. 

A great body of lo3^al alumni such as only an old well-established institution 
can have. Yale alumni associations are found throughout the United States 
and in many foreign countries. 

A large and rajjidly increasing number of alumni engaged in engineering 
and industrial pursuits, who are particularly interested in Engineering, and 
the Yale Engineering Association with a membership of over one thousand 
— one of the largest of Yale's alumni organizations. 

The Yale spirit, manifested in the Yale brotherhood, and gratefully regarded 
by all Yale men as a priceless heritage.

TERMS OF ADMISSION 



Important modifications in the "New Plan" of admission were made in 
February, 1921, to take effect in June, 1921. A candidate with suitable prep- 
aration needs hereafter to pass satisfactory examinations only in Efiglish and 
(in general) on the work of his Senior year in three other subjects. This is 
more fully explained below. 

For detailed information concerning the subjects, dates, and -places of ex- 
aminations, and general regulations, address the Chairman of the Board of 
Admissions , Yale University, 100 Wall Street, Neio Have?i, Connecticut. 

MODIFIED NEW PLAN 

A DMISSION to the "New Plan" examinations is dependent on the school 
l—\^ record which a candidate submits. If he has completed the course at 
■^ -^ an accredited school and if his record indicates good preparation, both 
in quantity and quality, he may gain admission to the Freshman Class by 
passing four examinations, namely, a "comprehensive" examination (see be- 
low) in EnglisJi, and three other examinations (either comprehensive or ordi- 
nary) in those subjects (such as History, Modern Language, Mathematics, 
Science, or Latin) which most nearl}^ correspond with the work of the regular 
Senior year curriailitiii in his scliool. 

OLD PLAN 

This is still in force for those who prefer it. Under this plan a student who 
expects to study ICngineering is examined in English (Grammar and Composi- 
tion, and Literature), one or two Foreign Languages, Mathematics (l'"lcmen- 
tary Algebra and Plane (ieomc'try) , History, a Science, ami in eiKuigh nther 
subjects chosen by him from a list of "clectives" to bring his total of "units"* 
up to fifteen. It is not necessary tluit all of the examinations be taken at one 
time; examination credits remain good for three \ears. 

EXAMINATIONS 

These examinations are held in June and September at New ila\cn. I'lif Iniu- 

examinations, given under the auspices of the College l"2ntrance ICxami nation 

Board, .are uniform for all colleges, and are held not onl\' in New lla\en, but 

♦ A "unit" represents work in secondary school involvini; four or live e.xercises a week for the 
whole school year.

A PORTION OF THE SITE FOR THE ENGINEERING CAMP 

More than 2,000 acres of fields and hills surrounding this lake are now owned by the 

Trustees of the Sheffield Scie?itific School 

also in about two hundred conveniently located "centers" throughout the 
country and in a few foreign cities. A "comprehensive" examination (as con- 
trasted with an "ordinary" examination) covers an entire subject, and takes the 
place of a number of separate (ordinary) examinations on its various parts; 
thus, a candidate may take a comprehensive examination in English, covering 
the requirements in both English A (Grammar and Composition) and English 
B (Literature). Comprehensive examinations are set in nearly all entrance 
subjects, and may be used under either the Old Plan or the New Plan. 

NECESSARY PRELIMINARIES 

It is assumed that an applicant for admission under either plan has pursued 
the equivalent of a four years' course in a good high school, — a course chiefly 
made up of the Languages, Mathematics, Science, and History. He must be 
"recommended" for the examinations by his princijDal instructor, secure a 
testimonial of character, and i^ay a stated fee. It is desirable, therefore, that he 
get in touch with the University several months before he expects to take the 
examinations. 

ADMISSION FROM OTHER COLLEGES 

Students from other colleges are admitted under certain conditions without 
examination, either to the Freshman Class or to upper classes. They must submit 
proper evidence covering both their college and preparatory school records. 
The Chairman of the Board of Admissions (address above) should be com- 
municated with in either case.

THE FRESHMAN YEAR 



Beginning with the college year 1920-21, all undergraduate students at Yale 
spend their first year, not in the Sheffield Scientific School or in Yale College, 
but in The Freshmafi Year of Yale University. 

PURPOSES AND POLICIES 

PRIOR to 1920 Yale College and the Sheffield Scientific School each had 
its own Freshman class, but these two are now replaced by one uni- 
versity undergraduate Freshman class. Incoming students are thus 
brought in contact with the University as a whole rather than with any par- 
ticular school, and really feel themselves to be members of the entire University. 
Students have in this first year opportunity to "find" themselves. 

Since the Freshman Year has its separate Dean, Registrar, and Faculty, with 
all the responsibilities of those of the other schools, opportunity is given to con- 
centrate on the peculiar needs of Freshmen and to develop an organization 
devoted to their interests. Three cardinal policies were at once inaugurated.

A YALE END RUN IN THE BOWL 

First, to secure the most efficient corps oi teachers avaihible, since it was 
fek that the Freshman above all needs excellent teaching. 

Second, to develop a system of Student Counselors whose business it would 
be to become so w^ell acquainted socially with their counselees that they could 
give them indi\idual attention. These counselors are Freshman instructors 
and each has under his charge less than twenty men. The relationship of a 
counselor with the members of his group is, except in classroom, wholly social 
and unofficial. 

Third, to make the Freshman curriculum uniform in character to such an 
extent that a student undecided concerning the degree for which he wished 
to be candidate might defer his decision until some time in the second term of 
the Freshman Year. 



SUBJECTS OF STUDY 

All Freshmen take European History and English, and three other subjects. 
Certain restrictions of choice result in the formation of two possible elective 
groups which lead to the following degrees : 

Group I , to the B.A. degree in the College. 

Group II , to either the Ph.B. degree in the College, or the B.S. degree in the 
Scientific School. 

A student who has definitely made up his mind to pursue one of the engineer- 
ing courses, including Administrative Engineering, in the Sheffield Scientific 
School, is expected to enroll in Group IL Such a student must take, in the 
Freshman Year, European History, Eiiglisli, Mathematics, and Chemistry. He 

24 



will naturally elect also Drawing, although a student in Group II may elect 
either a Modern Language or Biology instead. 

A student preparing for the courses in Mining, in Metallurgy, or in Indus- 
trial and Engineering Chemistry should normally enroll in Group II. 

UNITY OF THE CLASS 

Engineering Freshmen are not differentiated from other Freshmen. In re- 
spect to such matters as enrollment, living accommodations, and recitation 
rooms there is a wholesome commingling of the class. 

See the Catalogue of the Freshman Y ear for further details.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN ENGINEERING 



These courses cover four years. During the first year all engineering students 
are enrolled in the Frcslnnan Year of Yale University (described on page 23). 

Beginning with the second or 
SopJiomore year all students 
in Engineering, Mining, 
Metallurgy, and Industrial 
and Engineering Chemistry, 
and in certain other courses 
(see S. S. S. Catalogue) are 
enrolled in the Sheffield Sci- 
entific School, which is "Yale 
University's undergraduate 
school for professional stuch^ 
in Science and Engineering."

ON THE SHORE OF SHEFFIELD LAKE 

One of the fiumerous camp sites 

GENERAL INTRODUCTION 

FOUR* different engineering courses are offered, viz., Ci\'il Engineering, 
Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Administrative 
Engineering. The Freshman and Sophomore years are practically the 
same for all four courses. Not until the end of the Sophomore year is a student 
required to choose which of the four courses he will pursue. Each course leads 
to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.). 

FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE YEARS 

The subjects of study in the Freshman and Sophomore years are mainl}' non- 
technical subjects of fundamental importance in Engineering, such as English, 
Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. An effort is made, however, during these 
two years to give to the student a general knowledge of the whole field of 

♦ While no courses under the specific titles, Mining Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering, 
are offered at this time, a student in either the Mining course or the Metallurgy course may elect 
suitable engineering subjects (see pages 40-42) and thus pursue substantially a course in Mining 
Engineering or Metallurgical Engineering.

JUNIOR AND 
SENIOR YEARS 

The curricula for the four 
engineering courses differ 
from each other consider- 
ably in the Junior and Senior years, but even in these two years engineering 
students in the different courses have many studies in common, such, for ex- 
ample, as Strength of Materials, Metallurgy of Materials, Economics, Business 
Finance, and Accounting. The studies in the different years and in the different 
engineering courses are listed in detail on the following pages and on the 
chart, page 36.

GRADUATE COURSES IN ENGINEERING 



ADVANTAGES AND OPPORTUNITIES 

IN the Graduate School of Yale University are offered courses in engineer- 
ing studies for graduates of scientific and technical schools and colleges. 
Tlie advantages of studying at Yale need not be emphasized here, except 
to point out again the unusual opportunities which are presented in the faculty 
of the University, in the engineering and other laboratories, and in the broad 
courses which are offered. Training in the fundamental sciences of mathematics 
and physics, as well as in the applied sciences of engineering, ma}' be under- 
taken by those who wish to prepare themselves for engineering work of the 
most advanced and creative nature. Research in problems of practical im- 
portance or in fields of pure science may be carried on under careful supervision. 



INSTRUCTION 

The graduate curriculum in Engineering is in part more or less definitely out- 
lined and in part left to suit the needs of the individual student. The strong 
univei'sity departments in the sciences and other subjects contribute to the 
effectiveness of graduate instruction. 

In addition to the regular university faculty eminent specialists in the dif- 
ferent branches of Engineering arc regularl}' appointed each year to gi\'e con- 
ference courses to graduate students. These courses include not i)nl_\' lectures, 
but round-table discussions. The engineers appointed for this pur|)ose during a 
recent college year, and the subjects discussed, follow.

This list does not include 
a large number of single 
lectures delivered during the 
year by jDracticing engineers, 
many of them alumni of the 
University. Some of these 
lectures have been given 
under the auspices of the 
student branches of the na- 
tional engineering societies. 

COOPERATIVE 
RESEARCH 

Tlie engineering laboratories 
are in constant use for co- 
operative industrial research 
work on important practical 
problems in Engineering and 
applied science submitted by commercial firms. Opportunities for participation 
in this industrial cooperative research are often available to graduate students, 
and frequently lead to permanent connections with engineering and commercial 
concerns. 

ENGINEERING DEGREES 

The engineering degrees of C.E., M.E., E.E., E.M., and Met.E. are awarded 
for work in the various departments. The normal requirement for each of 
these degrees is two years of graduate study in residence, together with a thesis 
which must in most cases represent original research on the j^art of the student.

In certain cases two or more years of equivalent practical engineering work is 
accepted in lieu of the work of the second year. 

MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE 

The degree of M.S. is given for special work in Engineering in a field which is 
hot in itself broad enough to warrant an engineering degree. Thus, for example, 
the degree may be awarded for study and research in iVIetallography, in Elec- 
trical Communication, in Heating and Ventilation, or in Structural Mechanics. 
The usual requirement is two years of graduate study in residence, together 
with a thesis. 

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 
A number of scholarships and fellowships are available for graduate students. 
In some departments opportunity is given certain students to assist in under- 
graduate instruction in the drafting room, in the laboratory, and in summer 
courses. 



For iiifiiniiation cuiiccniiiuj terms of admission , courses of instruction, require- 
ments for degrees, scholarslii [^s, and other details, the Graduate School Cata- 
logue should be consulted.

STUDENT INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES 
OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM* 




Many and varied are the extra-curriculum activities and interests to which the 
Yale student ma}- de\-ote himself. Where these lead to Campus prizes the 

competition is such 
as to make attainment 
doubly worth while. 
A brief review of 
the intellectual, social, 
and athletic activities 
that flourish at New 
Haven ma}' be sug- 
gesti\e. 



LITERARY 

TH E under- 
graduate pub- 
lications have 
given sj^ecial impetus 
to literary endeavor. 
Student editoi"s pub- 
lish the Yale Daily 
Ncivs, the oldest college dail}' in. existence and one of the leading Campus 
honors for those who successfully "heel" it; tlie Yale Literary Magazine, 
founded in 1836 and enjoying the distinction of being the oldest college literary 
monthly in point of continuous publication in this country ; the Yale Record, 
the Campus comic; and the Yale Graphic, a merger of the Yale Courant 
(founded in 1856) and oi\hQ Sheffield Monthly (founded in j 895 ). The unique 
Elizabethan Club has become, since its establishment about a decade ago, a 
real student literary center. 

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC 

Closely allied to the literar}^ interests are the musical and dramatic activities. 

Yale's various Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin clubs, and the University Orchestra, 

make trips of varying lengths. The distinguishing characteristic of the Yale 

* These features of Yale life are more completely covered in the booklet "Life at Yale," for 
copies of which address the Secretary, Yale University.

Dramatic Association is its serious attempts not only to present unusual and 
worthy plays but to encourage playwrights among the student body. 

ATHLETIC 

Tlie Yale ideal in sports is, in addition to the development of strong Varsity 
teams and crews, athletic participation for all. To this end extraordinary equip- 
ment in the neighborhood of the Yale Bowl, the world's largest stadium, and at 
the Adee Memorial Boat ?Iouse has been provided. A system of interclass 
competition, with the award of numerals for winning, affords every "duffer" his 
chance and at the same time brings to light material which might otherwise be 
overlooked. Practically every major and minor sport is carried on at Yale and 
made an important part of the extra-curriculum. 

RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL 

An important phase of Campus life is the interest in religious activities and in 
the varied work in the University and the city carried on by the University 
Cliristian x'\ssociation. Religion is not forced upon the Yale man, but he is made 
to feel that attention to such interests can be a very vital part of a college career. 
Societies and fraternities of a social nature; high-stand and honor societies, 
including Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi, and various clubs which have 
naturally come into existence, contribute to the social satisfaction of the Yale 
undergraduate.

UNIVERSITY PRIVILEGES 

The privileges which the student enjoys in a modern university like Yale are 
too numerous to detail within these brief limits. A collection of books exceeding 
a million and a quarter volumes is the very heart of the University, while such 
publications as TJie Yale Review, the recognized leader among American 
quarterlies, and the output of the Yale University Press contribute something 
of essential importance. The privileges of the University Church are open to 
all members of the University. Frequent concerts by eminent musical artists, 
lectures by men of national and international repute, and collections often rare 
and of great value offer opportunities which the student selecting a university 
quite naturally takes into serious consideration. 

SELF-SUPPORT 

With many the question of the cost of a college education assumes large pro- 
portions. The Yale authorities prefer to treat this question with perfect candor. 
An increase in the undergraduate tuition fee brings this charge to $300. Other

One of the traditional events of Commencement week 

costs which the student has to meet make the course at Yale possibh' somewhat 
more expensive than at certain other institutions. On the other hand, the policy 
has been adopted at Yale of taking special care of the student who is obliged 
to pay his way in part or in whole. Scholarships and self-support opportunities 
in wide variety make it possible for Yale to say definitely that no student need 
forego the privilege of a Yale education because of pecuniary lack alone. In 
1919-1920 a total of 948 men received assistance, through work secured or 
expenses reduced, to the amount of over a quarter of a million dollars. Not 
counting vacation work, 224 earned during tcM-m time between $200 and $500 
apiece, 44 o\'er $500, and 7 over $1000. And always these men retained the full 
resi)ect of their fellows and suffered no loss because of their initial financial 
(lidiculties. 

"Tuition scholarships are granted upon application, and wilhln (lie limits 
of the funds a\'aikible, to students who, on the i:)asis of their scholarship records 
and personal references, seem best to satisfy the essential requirements of high 
character, scholastic merit, and financial need." 

I'or information concerning scholarships and oppoilunities for self-su|)port 
while in college, address the Bureau of Appointments, ^'ale LTni\-ersit\-, 
New Haven, Connecticut. This bureau has a.ssisted man)- liuiulreds of

Self-Support," which may be had on application. 

EXPENSES 
Any attempt to state the actual cost of a college education to-day is apt to be 
misleading. This is true jDarticularly because it is customary to include in the 
bill numerous items of expense which are common to those inside and outside 
of college and which at the present time (June, 192 1) are still abnormally 
high. Of the costs which can be stated with some degree of accuracy, in addition 
to the $300 tuition charge, there is tlie cost of a room ranging from $100 a year 



52 



upward and averaging somewhere below $300, and board amounting to $375 
or more, making a yearly total for the average student from outside of New 
Haven of from $750 to $1000. It should be added that a reduction in room rent 
is allowed scholarship holders, and that board may be earned outright by wait- 
ing on table, which means very considerable savings in such items of expense. 



ROOMS 

Dorniitor}^ accommodations are provided for all members of the Freshman and 
Sophomore classes and for many of the upper classmen. The overflow is cared 
for in nearby houses under the supervision of the University authorities. Mem- 
bers of the Sheffield Scientific School fraternities and societies have the op- 
portunity of rooming in their society houses. 



HEALTH 

Special attention is gi\'cn to tlie matter of student health at Yale. Ph3-sical 
exercise is required in h'reshman year, and thorough examination and medical 
supervision is provided by the Department of University Health, which over- 
sees the details of the student's living conditions as well as his exercise. A 
modern infirmary for students who are ill is a ]3art of the University equipment. 
ICacli student is watched and is given the definite opportunity of graduating 
mcjre physically fit tlian he entered.

YALE ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION 



THE Yale Engineering Association was organized in 1914 in order "to 
advance the interests of engineering education at Yale and to promote 
the better acquaintance and fellowship of Yale engineers." Its member- 
ship is open to any person holding a degree from Yale University and to all 
members of the Faculty of the University. Non-graduates may be elected at 
the discretion of the executive committee. 

Meetings are held several times during each year. Standing and special 
committees, such as the Consultation Committee, the Curriculum Committee, 
and the Publicity Committee, work continuously in cooperation with the Ad- 
ministrative Officers of the University and the Engineering Faculty. The 
Employment Committee cooperates with the Yale Bureau of Appointments in
